Tottenham's Fightback
Despite being 2-0 down, Tottenham refused to give up and started to create chances of their own. Son Heung-min pulled one back for the visitors in the 31st minute, with a well-placed shot into the bottom corner. Just five minutes later, Tottenham were level, thanks to a brilliant solo effort from Tanguy Ndombele. The Frenchman drove towards the Liverpool box, beating several defenders before slotting the ball past Alisson.
The second half saw both teams going for the win, and Liverpool regained the lead in the 56th minute. Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross found Mohamed Salah at the back post, and the Egyptian made no mistake from close range. However, Tottenham weren't done yet, and they equalized once again in the 70th minute, through Harry Kane's powerful header from a corner.
Jota's Late Winner
With the game seemingly heading for a draw, Liverpool launched a late assault on the Tottenham goal. And their efforts paid off in the 86th minute, when Jota scored the decisive goal. The Portuguese forward met Mane's cross with a well-placed header, giving Hugo Lloris no chance in the Tottenham goal.
Klopp's Injury Celebration
The Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp suffered an injury celebration after Jota's late goal. The German coach ran onto the pitch to join his players, and in the process, twisted his ankle. Klopp was seen limping back to the dugout and later said that he was in "a lot of pain."
Liverpool's victory over Tottenham was a crucial one, as they continue to fight for a top-four finish in the Premier League. The Reds' attacking trio of Mane, Salah, and Jota were in fine form, and their goals proved to be the difference. Tottenham, on the other hand, will be disappointed with the result, despite their valiant efforts to get back into the game.
